The Government of Armenia optimizes the mechanism of calculation and provision of bonuses for special purpose units of the Armed Forces and servicemen on combat duty. For this purpose, during 2026, the budget of the defense department will increase by around 3.5 billion drams.
According to the decision adopted at the government session on April 18, the coefficients of the premiums for service providers in the new contact line formed after the military operations of 2020 will be revised. In addition, two different supplements for special forces will be combined.
Previously, the conditions and amounts of their calculation differed, which complicated the administration. With this step of the executive, the entire process of recording, documenting and allocating financial funds will be significantly facilitated.
According to the justification of the decision, the policy adopted by the state is aimed at expanding the social guarantees of the military, where financial security is considered as the main incentive for conscientious performance of official duties. The new system is expected to increase the attractiveness of the service, especially in the special purpose, special operations and intelligence units.
